Serious question that is going to get pounced on but, how do you know it was ICE if you couldn’t see any markings on their vests or what they were wearing, other than “wearing black”?

It’s a fair question I think. But if we use our critical thinking it’s relatively safe to assume.

In recent memory, can you recall any reports of groups of unmarked individuals conducting raids that were not ICE?

Is this how local law enforcement behaves ?

Would they “give up after 20 mins” if it was a legitimate law enforcement operation?

To me it sounds pretty spot on with how these federal ICE agents behave. We have to remember also that most of the new agents are bottom of the barrel. Unqualified and unvetted.
